Drunken Chicken

[Dub]

Picked up some of these racks at Lowes or Walmart a couple of years ago.

They'll hold a can of beer or soda (lemon/lime soda is great)....you place a 4.5lb chicken over them and fire up the coals (I use indirect heat from the smoke box).

Sip on a few of your remaining colds ones and wait on a feast.



The skin comes out extremely crispy and traps in all the natural juices. You can also use and injector to squirt in your favorite flavors.

Or you could try Shaoxing rice wine, but that'd be a different dish entirely .

I love doing chicken on a beer can. Using the rack does make it a bit easier (no problems balancing the bird on the grill). I use my gas grill and only light the burners on the side opposit the bird(s). I use a dry bbq rub on the bird being sure to coat the inside cavity of the bird and even putting some rub under the skin of the breast and thighs. I put about a tablespoon of rub in the half full beer can. I don't think I'd waste any burbon in the beer, but who knows it might make a difference. I do like the flavor you get from beer as opposed to soda pop (one time I didn't have any beer in cans and had to use soda).

Some Northerners and most Europeans are more likely to drink their beer out of bottles. However, I learned this technique from Bobby Flay (a New Yorker) on his Boy meets Grill episodes years ago.

Hm, what is a good rub I could get up north? I'm wanting to try the drunken chicken and the pulled pork. Any tips? Thanks a lot
Also do you need the bracket? or can you just put the beer can on the grill, with the chicken on top?

Don't need the bracket. For a basic rub, just use Lawery's seasoning salt. Then with 15 minutes left, coat the bird with a mix of BBQ sauce, honey, and lime juice.

For fancy rubs of all kinds try the following link: http://bbq.about.com/od/rubrecipes/R...s_of_meats.htm
